The conversation with the Bloody Count ended unpleasantly.
Yang Yu didn't want to express too many emotions and opinions in his words, but unfortunately the Blood Earl became aggressive from the middle. He wanted to thoroughly understand Yang Yu's position and true thoughts to see if his imagined alliance could be established.
No matter how carefully he responded, Yang Yu still touched the Bloody Count's patience.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Even if he didn't refuse and pretended to be willing to form an alliance with the Bloody Count and accept his transformation, his true colors might be revealed in subsequent conversations and tests.
Yang Yu judged that pretending to agree and then being found out would be much more serious than showing an ambiguous attitude from the beginning, which would lead to much more serious consequences.
Therefore, when Yang Yu refused, his attitude was decisive.
The Blood Count stood up from the main seat and slowly returned to his throne. The succubus maids all came around Yang Yu and the others, and unhappily asked them to leave the castle.
Even though he didn't get the information he wanted, Yang Yu didn't linger at all and left the castle under the gaze of the succubus maid.
Rosalind came out to say goodbye. She was still smiling in front of the castle:
"I really didn't expect that your conversation with my master would end so quickly."
Yang Yu also laughed and joked, “I also didn’t expect that our conversation would end so quickly.
If we can talk, I have a lot of questions that I want to discuss with Lord Blood Count."
Rosalind said: “This is entirely your own fault.
The proposal made by my master is quite brilliant no matter how you look at it.
It is your supreme honor to be able to cooperate with a strong man like my master.
In about a month, we will enter the next year. You must have heard about the coming of the devil from other places, more or less, right
There is not much time left for you, so please use the remaining time to think carefully.
I look forward to your change of heart.”
"I'll think about it. It's almost time for us to leave. Bai Jin, activate the teleportation array, and let's get out of here."
After receiving Yang Yu's order, Bai Jin raised the magic wand of the Seed of Sigh, and a ray of light instantly enveloped Yang Yu and the others.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Yu and his friends arrived at the teleportation point that had been set up previously.
A ray of morning sun rose slowly from the sea level, dyeing the horizon where the sea and the sky met orange-red. The sunlight sprinkled on the walls of the ancient castle, illuminating the antiquity of the stones, as if the castle had been there since ancient times.
After looking around and making sure that no one was following, Yang Yu pushed the boat into the sea, took his companions on board, and left the island where the Blood Earl was.
The Blood Count Gula Bolet sat on his throne, turned on the surveillance magic, and took in every move of Yang Yu.
Slowly closing the door, Rosalind bid farewell to Yang Yu and the others, and walked step by step to her master and asked:
"Master, they are about to leave here. Do you want to arrange some people to clean them out?"
An elegant goblet appeared out of thin air in his hand. The Bloody Count stared at the surveillance magic while handing the cup to the maid beside him.
The maid beside the Bloody Count understood and poured red liquid into the cup.
Staring at Yang Yu who was walking away, the Bloody Count had a stern face:
“There’s no need to make such a big fuss for now.
Although they are growing rapidly, they are still far from threatening us.
I told him that suppressing the future strong is a cowardly act.
Moreover, we made such a promise with them. If I violated it and it got out, the subordinates I had recruited with great difficulty would easily doubt me.
I'll give them plenty of time to think about it.
When the time comes, or when they show obvious hostility towards us, it won’t be too late to eliminate them all.”
"But, Master, what if they use what you said to gather a group of people to fight against you?" Rosalind had a trace of worry on her face.
“If they do come, I will deal with them personally.
However, if they really come, that's all they can do.
In a sense, I am their partner.
It is the most foolish choice to attack potential allies before the real enemy arrives."
As he spoke, the Bloody Count brought the goblet filled with fresh blood close to his lips, tasting the delicious blood before falling asleep.
…
…
As they left on the boat, Bai Jin could feel that the boat they were riding was gradually approaching a solid barrier.
But the solid barrier did not block the boat's progress, and the boat passed through the barrier safely.
Looking back, the ancient castle that was originally clearly visible on the sea has disappeared without a trace under the protection of the barrier.
The sea surface was shaking slightly, and the blue sea was endless.
Because Bai Jin had set up a teleportation array and obtained the location information of the island, she was able to make a preliminary judgment on their current location by comparing it with the previous farther teleportation array.
After some comparison, Bai Jin discovered that they had completely left the territory of the thorny lizards and arrived at the center of the Hobbit territory.
Although the Harpies are not Seirens, their large population still occupies a place in the Ocean Principality. Like the Seirens, they are divided into several factions that can be distinguished by different characteristics.
Originally, the various factions restrained and coexisted with each other, but with the rise of the Windwing Hobbit, the balance was broken, and the various Hobbit factions gradually moved closer to the Windwing Hobbit.
At the beginning, Yang Yu judged that the Blood Earl must be in the territory of the Wind-Winged Hobbits or the Thorny-Scaled Lizards. It seems that his judgment was correct.
Sitting on the small boat and sailing towards the distance, many islands appeared in front of Yang Yu and his friends. Countless harpies flew into the air, dived into the sea, flapped their wings and grabbed the huge fish, and flew high into the sky.
Seeing that Yang Yu and his boat were sailing out from the center of their territory, the harpies stopped on the islands or nearby trees and watched Yang Yu and his boat.
None of the harpies took action or went up to ask Yang Yu and his team why they were here. They just watched them go away quietly.
After sailing for nearly two hours and temporarily leaving the area controlled by the harpy, Luo Luosi was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. She had a lot of things to say to Yang Yu, and now she finally had the chance to blurt out all those words.
“Just by sitting there, I can feel the guy’s powerful strength. What are you going to do next
Is that guy from the Demon King's Army, or one of the Four Heavenly Kings
They are the Four Heavenly Kings, but they are not from the Demon King's camp.
Everything is a mess.
But, that guy is someone you have to defeat, right?"
